4:10 pm
level of intervention, what level of help to bring. >> last week, the police were called out. she asked if she could have a couple friends over. our house is really large. my bedroom is in the front. i don't hear if they're in the garage or in the back yard. i can't hear back there. again, they ring my cell phone. they say there's three out there and there was a party going on in my garage. there were guys jumping on my roof, over the fence. they said they're going to file civil charges against me, the city is, because they're called out to my house too many times. >> who from your town knows you're coming here? >> three of my neighbors wrote in to the show. they've seen me crying in the general store over nicky. they see the police in front of my house almost daily. >> dr. phil: so you didn't write for help. people wrote on your behalf. said help this woman. >> yes. >> dr. phil: we got that letter
4:11 pm
and we also got another one. i got an anonymous e-mail about you, her and this whole situation. i'm going to read it to you after the break. [applause] >> dr. phil: do not lie to me. if that is -- >> i would tell you. >> dr. phil: i'm going to find out the truth. if i have to put investigators on the street in your town, i will find out the truth because i'm going to help this little girl. >> announcer: monday on an all-new "dr. phil." he's an embezzler. >> dr. phil: your father will be gone for a while. >> announcer: who says his ex-wife is a cougar. >> dr. phil: you don't have young boyfriends? >> nope. it's a joke. >> announcer: they still live under the same roof. >> dr. phil: you're divorced. >> announcer: if that's not drama. >> let's tell the truth a minute. >> dr. phil: let's do. >> announcer: wait till you see what leaves dr. phil
4:12 pm
4:13 pm
4:14 pm
>> dr. phil: well, today's show is called "brutal beauty." we have some beautiful young girls, beautiful in so many ways that are actually brutally violent and out of control. i'm speaking with yvette, the mother of nicky that is a youtube brawler. fair enough? >> yes. >> dr. phil: fair enough description? she's actually here because some neighbors in her town wrote in
4:15 pm
and said you need to help this woman. but then after it was booked, we got an anonymous and unsolicited e-mail that came in about this very story. i'm anxious to hear what you have to say about this. this is an urgent matter concerning your guest, yvette and nicky. i must remain anonymous for my own protection. to help nicky, you must help yvette. she's a manipulative influence in her life. yvette is the reason that nicky smokes, drinks and sell drugs. yvette smokes weed with her daughter, allows nicky and her friends to drink alcohol in their home. nicky began selling weed because yvette was sending nicky out to score weed for her. yvette is currently married for the fourth time. she has an 8-year-old son, yvette has taught her daughter to lie. if you pull nicky aside and ask her, she will very well tell you
4:16 pm
the truth. what do you think of that? >> i think it's a development that i have issues with. >> dr. phil: there's things that concern me that i need you to tell me true or not true. look, at this point, this really isn't about you other than to the extent that you can help or hurt nicky getting herself under control. >> right. >> dr. phil: so you got to be willing to put your own defensiveness, your own ego, your own agenda aside and tell me everything i need to know to help here. because i do intend to help here. i intend to help you, intend to help your daughter and your whole family. but i cannot do it and will not do it if i don't have all the facts. >> right. >> dr. phil: this anonymous e-mail, which i think is kind of gutless, by the way, for somebody to not have the guts to
4:17 pm
sign it, says that you smoke marijuana and that you do it with your daughter and that you have her go out and buy it for you. >> that's not true. >> dr. phil: now, do not lie to me -- >> no, no -- >> dr. phil: i'm going to find out the truth. if i have to put investigators on the street in your town, i will find out the truth because i'm going to help this little girl. >> right. that is not true. i didn't even know nicky selling marijuana until last week. >> dr. phil: so she is selling drugs? >> yes, she is. >> dr. phil: have you ever sent her out to buy drugs for you? >> never. >> dr. phil: take a deep breath. >> i know. she's 16. >> dr. phil: take a deep breath. if this is happening even sort of, maybe, kind of, you need to tell me the truth. >> right. i understand that. never had her do that. never. >> dr. phil: have you smoked marijuana with your daughter? >> never. >> dr. phil: never? >> i smoked it, yes. never with her. >> dr. phil: do you do it regularly? >> no.
4:18 pm
>> dr. phil: but you've never done it with her? >> never. >> dr. phil: but you know she does it. >> smoked marijuana? absolutely. >> dr. phil: you know she sells it. found that out last week. >> found that out last week. >> dr. phil: you're telling me the truth here. >> yes. >> dr. phil: i'm skeptical. >> she's 16. >> dr. phil: i know she's 16 and also completely out of control. did you encourage her to fight? never. nicky was never a fighter. didn't know she wanted to fight. >> dr. phil: when you saw these on the internet, what did you do? >> i asked her why she did that. why she was hurting people. she said it makes her feel good. releases her stress. >> dr. phil: releases her stress. >> uh-huh. most of the fights, my oldest daughter was taking her to go fight. i didn't know that either. >> dr. phil: she had a stepfather when she was 12. she says that he was abusive
4:19 pm
with her. true or false? >> i think it's -- i think he's put his hands on her. i don't think he was ever abusive. >> dr. phil: did he call her a little bitch? >> yes. >> dr. phil: did he hit her with a belt? >> yes. >> dr. phil: and where were you when this was going on? >> i was actually the one that was hitting her with a belt and she was laughing at me. he took it out of my hand and let me. the first time he spanked her. and cps was called. they came to my house. they said they were there to see nicky. they wanted us to go outside. i did. three minutes later and she said i want you to know that you're not in any trouble at all. i just asked your daughter if she was abused. she said i'm sitting on the coup, it's a quarter till 4:00, i'm eating on the couch and eating and playing on the tv. she said do i look abused to you.
4:20 pm
then she laughed and said i covered you, mom. >> dr. phil: what did she say? >> she said if you ever do this again, you'll be taken away. >> dr. phil: what do you think will happen with her? >> if she doesn't get help, she'll end up deed or in jail. >> dr. phil: i want to talk to nicky. i want to talk to her without you here. is that okay? >> uh-huh. >> dr. phil: when when come back, i'm going to meet nicky. we'll be right back. [applause] >> i didn't want to come on here so you guys can try to embarrass me. yeah, my fighting is a result of what i've been through. it is. >> get her, nicky. >> i'm sitting here and
4:21 pm
4:22 pm
4:23 pm
[applause] >> dr. phil: well, i've been talking to yvette, who is the mother of nicky that is now joined me. yvette says that her daughter parties all night, sleeps all day and fights with anyone and everyone. nicky says the fights find her. now, first off, what do you think about being here today? >> i'm nervous. i didn't expect to be on the "dr. phil" show. it's not something i'm proud of. it's all my mother's thing.
4:24 pm
you know, i -- i don't know. i just really -- if you can help me and my mom's relationship, i'm willing to try. >> dr. phil: yeah? [applause] i'm glad to hear that. i listen to some of the things that you said to us in your interview. just watch this. you can watch it here. and then we'll talk about this. >> nicky at her first fight in the eighth grade. she brags about fighting all the time. she wants it on youtube or facebook to see. >> when the youtube videos go around, you're talking about it and it's ha, ha, i beat your as. >> she says it relieves stress and anger. >> last week we went over to a girl that stole one of my friend's phones. she didn't answer the door. we went in the house, found her
4:25 pm
in the shower and beat her. >> she found my gun. it was hidden under my mattress. >> i want her to know there's a break in to know where it's at. >> there's a constant fear of not knowing what's next. >> dr. phil: okay. as you watch that, what is your reaction to it? >> um, embarrassing. >> dr. phil: but you take it -- you say you're embarrassed about it. you're the one that distributes it. you a, do it and b, distribute it on facebook and youtube, right? so why do you say you're embarrassed about it? >> honestly, over the years have gone, i realize the trouble it's gotten me in, where it's gotten me in trouble with friends and family. you know, it's not ever been something that i'm proud of. it's not something that i'm
4:26 pm
proud of. throughout the interview, we talked more and i did -- i told them more things than that i feel like i took more of the bad of it. but yes, fighting i do and i have a problem. >> dr. phil: yeah. why do you think you do it? >> honestly, i guess that i don't go looking for it, but i just -- i don't know. when i was younger, i had people that were always trying to fight me. i was the one that didn't want to fight. i was the straight a student. >> dr. phil: you say you don't go looking for it. last week you did a home invasion and pulled a girl out of the shower and beat her up. that's your description, which you said laughingly. now, look, i'm not a prosecutor, but that's a felony when you -- you do a home invasion, that's a felony. and they will put you in jail for a long, long time.
4:27 pm
>> i know. >> dr. phil: and you think you're betty bad ass, you'll meet some fighters in prison. they will whip your ass before god gets the news. [applause] you don't want to go to jail. serious jail. they can put you in juvi or whatever. you do a felony home invaccination, you can go to prison. those old gals are serious. >> what you're not getting is you took what i said and put the bad into a video. i mean, the whole interview was said, you'd know exactly what happened. it wasn't just me. it's me and a group of friends. my friends pulled her out of the shower and whooped her. the girl will fight back. yeah, we did. we jumped her and she went back. it was equal combat. it's not -- >> dr. phil: what part of the context is missing? she stole your phone or -- >> she stole my friend's phone.

she said come. come to my house. we got there. we knocked on the door. she didn't come out. so they went around back and they got in. she was in the house. i mean, she equally put towards it. >> dr. phil: based on what you said, a first-year prosecutor who's ink is not even dry on the their diploma could and would convict you of a serious felony. i'm telling you this because i don't think that you're a bad girl. but i think you're doing some really bad things that could get you in trouble that is beyond the police just coming over and giving -- >> i didn't come on here to talk about fighting. that's what they picked out of it. that's what they wanted to do. like i said, i didn't want to come on here for you guys to embarrass me. that's not what i'm about. i came on here to fix mine and my mother's relationship. yeah, my fighting is a result of what i've been through. it is.

[applause] >> but i want you to respect me. i respect you. i would like respect. what you see -- >> dr. phil: i'm not some little girl in the park and you can bow up on me and you're going to find out it goes bad for you. okay? i'm here to help you. >> exactly. i'm here to get help. >> dr. phil: then you need to take a deep breath and calm down. >> i'm trying. okay? >> dr. phil: you need to do that.

4:35 pm
that's not what i'm here for. i'm here to -- >> dr. phil: okay. i know who i am. i'm talking to you. it is incredibly arrogant for you to think that you're some kind of ratings get for us. come on. >> that's what it's looking like. >> dr. phil: do flatter yourself. that's not what -- >> that's what this is looking like. >> dr. phil: that's not what this is about. what this is about to trying to figure out how you can get on a path where you can really be happy and have some peace in your life. >> uh-huh. >> dr. phil: nicky shared something incredibly raw with one of our producers this week. something i think has everything to do with why you have so much rage. let's take a look at this. >> my father passed away when i was 6 from als. it's lou gehrig's disease. my dad was on pain pills. he put his whole life in aa
4:36 pm
before he died. it was hard watching my die go from a man to a vegetable and to not be able to talk or walk or sing or dance. i loved my dad very much. he spoiled me. he did everything he could to let me know i was his little girl. he loved me. it's so hard to this day. i never want to blame my father for why i am. i never want to blame him for my problems, my mistakes. but it is part of the reason why i'm so [bleep] up. >> dr. phil: and that's a wound that has never healed in you, right? and -- by the way, i think it's important that you see that because you understand we're not
4:37 pm
just cherry picking this things and that thing. this is very much a big part of who you are. when i look at this picture -- look over your shoulder. i look at this picture. that looks like a really happy girl. doesn't look like a mean girl. >> i had straight as. i was supposed to be a gate student. i never wanted to do drugs. i never wanted to drink. i wanted to be a doctor. i had goals. i was doing so good. it was sixth grade that i got my first f and it was horrible. i never got anything better than as. as much as i tried, i never got anything better. it got worse and worse. >> dr. phil: do you think it's too late for you? >> no. why you think i'm here? >> dr. phil: because i don't think it's too late for you at all. i just call things the way i see them. sometimes people like that, sometimes they don't. what you will get from me is the
4:38 pm
truth. this is the beginning, not an end. this is a place to start, to say, okay, look, i get this isn't good in my life. i get this relationship isn't working. then you need some help to figure out how to do differently. all right? when we come back, i'm going to add nicky's mother back to this conversation and we're going to talk about some things that need to happen. we'll be right back.

4:41 pm
[applause] >> dr. phil: i'm back with nicky and yvette. and one of the things that we i think can agree on is that there's conflict in this house. and what -- if you were the king of the forest for a day, you could just change anything the way you wanted it, what would you want from her that you're not getting and what would you like to stop getting that you are getting from her? if you can shape and change her and the way she interacts with you, what would it be? >> my mom, she's a good woman. she works hard. and i do, i feel i'm part of the way she treats me the way she
4:42 pm
does. but the name calling is not as bad as it used to be. it does hurt. telling me things like i'm just like my dad and -- my dad was a compulsive liar and all this stuff. it hurts really bad. because that's one of my weakest points. her yelling. oh, god. she talks. she doesn't realize she's yelling at me. it's her voice. sometimes she makes me cringe. there's a lot. >> dr. phil: what do you think about what she's saying? >> i do call her names. i do. i mean, i will willing will admit it. i've cut way back on it because she did tell me it hurt her and it was me lashing out because -- >> dr. phil: what do you call her? >> bitch. slut. many names.
4:43 pm
>> dr. phil: tell me the theory under which that makes sense. >> it doesn't. it's always in a fit of rage. her not listening. she never listens. nicky does what nicky wants to do. it makes no sense. i'm angry. >> dr. phil: and i understand that. she does what she wants to do. she doesn't pay attention. you're trying to enhance or change that by calling her vile names. >> we start to argue. nicky and i are a lot a like. she's head strong. she's violent. >> dr. phil: you're the adult. act like it. >> i try. >> dr. phil: you don't call your daughter names.

needs of two adults. to have a good relationship, you have to understand her needs and you have to try to meet those needs. you simultaneously need to teach her what your needs are so she can try to meet those needs. now, she is articulating to me and up to needs that she has. needs that she doesn't -- what she knows is her father died and her world started spinning. and she doesn't know how to navigate that. so in many respects, emotionally you're the same place you were the day it happened. true? it's as raw for you as the day it happened. you know, people say time heals all wounds. time heals nothing. it's what you do in that time that makes a difference. because one month of doing the right thing is more important than a year of doing nothing or doing the wrong thing when it

especially my niece. the moment she pointed out my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis... well, it was really embarrassing. so i had a serious talk with my dermatologist. this time, she prescribed humira-adalimumab. humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores.

you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. make the most of every moment. ask your dermatologist about humira, today. clearer skin is possible.
